Sizer marked with a size on each of its four sides

ABSTRACT

A sizer marks with a size on each of its four sides. The sizer includes a main body which at least has four sides and a top surface for connecting the four sides; wherein the top surface has a hole for a hook on a garment hanger extending therethrough; wherein the four sides of the main body are marked each with a size of a garment so that consumers can easily read a sizer from either direction to select a desired garment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a sizer used on a garment hanger, andmore particularly to a sizer that can be marked with a size on each ofits four sides for a consumer to easily read the size on the garmenthanger.

2. Description of the Prior Art

There are various types of sizers used on garment hangers. Referring toFIG. 1, it depicts a schematic view showing the appearance of a normallyused sizer 1 on a garment hanger. The sizer 1 includes a plurality ofsides 10 and a top surface 12 for connecting the sides 10. The sides 10and the top surface 12 define a receiving space and the receiving spaceis used to receive a connecting portion 16 on a hook 14 of the garmenthanger. The connecting portion 16 of the hook 14 has thereon a pluralityof tenons 17, while the sizer 1 is provided thereon with a plurality ofmortises 18 for engaging with the tenons 17, thereby when in engagingthe sizer 1 can be firmly connected onto the hook 14. By the limitationof shape of the connecting portion 16, the sizer 1 is designed to beflat and elongate; hence it can only have its broader surfaces marked toindicate the size 19 of a garment. The above conventional sizer only hasits broader surfaces marked to indicate the sizes of a garment. Byinfluence of the directions of the garment hangers and hanging rods,consumers mostly tend to view the sizer in directions 24, 25 to selectdesired garment. However, the positions on sizer viewed by the consumersfrom these directions 24, 25 unfortunately are the positions with nosizes marked thereon. This is inconvenient for the consumers.

Therefore, the present invention is aimed at improving of theconventional sizer to provide a sizer that is marked with a size on eachof its four sides for a consumer to easily read and then select thegarment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a sizerthat is marked with a size on each of its four sides for consumers'convenience to read the size of a garment.

To achieve the above stated objective, the sizer applicable on a garmenthanger of the present invention and being marked with a size on each ofits four sides includes a main body which at least has four sides and atop surface for connecting the four sides; wherein the top surface has ahole for a hook on the garment hanger extending therethrough; whereinthe four sides of the main body are marked each with a size of agarment.

The present invention will be apparent after reading the detaileddescription of the preferred embodiment thereof in reference to theaccompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is perspective view showing the appearance of a preferredembodiment of a sizer having its four sides marked each with a size anda garment hanger of the present invention;

FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the sizer in FIG. 2.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the sizer and the garment hanger in FIG.2 after assembling.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIG. 2 it is a perspective view showing the appearance of apreferred embodiment of a sizer 3 having its four sides each marked witha size and attachable to a garment hanger 4.

The garment hanger 4 has a connecting portion 42 having a connectinghole 43. A metallic hook 41 is connected to the connecting hole 43 toallow the garment hanger 4 to be hung. The sizer 3 can be attached tothe garment hanger 4 provided with the metallic hook 41.

The sizer 3 has a main body 30 including a plurality of sides 31 and atop surface 32 for connecting the sides 31. In this embodiment, the mainbody 30 at least has four sides 31 marked each with a size 34 of agarment. The top surface 32 has a hole 35 for the hook 41 on the garmenthanger 4 extending therethrough. As shown in FIG. 3, the four sides 31and the top surface 32 define a receiving space 36 and the receivingspace 36 is used to receive the connecting portion 42 on the garmenthanger 4.

In this embodiment, the connecting portion 42 has a specific length L1and a specific width W1 and the receiving space 36 has an inner lengthL2 that is slightly larger than the specific length L1 of the connectingportion 42, and the receiving space 36 has an inner width W2 that islarger than the specific width W1, the connecting portion 42 can bereceived in the receiving space 36. The receiving space 36 also can bedesigned to be matched with the shape of the connecting portion 42 inorder that the sizer 3 can be firmly connected with the connectingportion 42.

The connecting portion 42 is provided on its two lateral sides each witha protruding first engaging portion and the main body 30 of the sizer 3is provided at positions on its inner side in corresponding with that ofthe first engaging portions with second engaging portions, in order thatthe first engaging portions are engaged with the second engagingportions when the connecting portion 42 is received in the receivingspace 36. The sizer 3 can be firmly connected with the connectingportion 42. Wherein the first engaging portions are engaging blocks 44,while the second engaging portions are engaging grooves 37, so that whenthe sizer 3 is connected with the connecting portion 42, the engagingblocks 44 are engaged in the engaging grooves 37, and the sizer 3 can befirmly connected with the garment hanger 4 as is shown in FIG. 4.

Therefore, the present invention has the following advantages:

-   -   1. The sizer of the present invention has plain surfaces to        allow printing thereon larger letters or sizes for viewing of a        consumer.    -   2. In addition to having plain surfaces, the first engaging        portions on the connecting portion and the corresponding second        engaging portions on the sizer of the present invention can be        engaged with each other, so that the sizer can be firmly        connected with the garment hanger against dropping.    -   3. The present invention has plain side surfaces each printed        thereon with the size of a garment on the garment hanger.        Thereby a consumer can easily see the size for selecting a        desired garment.

In conclusion, according to the description disclosed above and thedrawings, the present invention surely can achieve the expectedobjective thereof to provide a sizer that can be marked with a size oneach of its four sides and used on a garment hanger. The presentinvention is practically valuable.

The embodiment stated above is only for illustrating the presentinvention, and not for giving any limitation to the scope of the presentinvention; it will be apparent to those skilled in this art that variousequivalent modifications or changes according to the idea of and withoutdeparting from the spirit of this invention shall also fall within thescope of the appended claims.
